Blue Forge Capital was founded by Colby Richardson, a Canadian investor focused on backing the next generation of venture capital managers. He works closely with emerging funds across Canada, the US, and the UK—particularly those with strong theses in applied AI, enterprise software, and deep tech.

Based in Toronto, Colby launched Blue Forge to invest early, build lasting relationships, and unlock access to high-quality co-investment opportunities. He brings a background in startup operations and deep sector knowledge of family offices, which gives him a practical, relationship-driven perspective on capital deployment.

Before founding Blue Forge, Colby worked across the private capital landscape in London and North America, developing a nuanced understanding of how aligned, long-term capital can accelerate innovation. He holds an MBA from London Business School and a BA from Brown University.
